Rating: Form fit gloves that build arm strength 12/11/2009

Recently bought these gloves to replace old diving gloves that I was using to swim laps at the YMCA. These new gloves are a better fit for use in an indoor pool than my old gloves. The fingers have cut out holes so my finger tips can better cut through the water and touch the sides of the pool from lap to lap. The webbing between the fingers offers enough fluid resistance in the water with each stroke building more arm strength with each pull without the bulky feel of a traditional water paddle.
Glad I made the purchase.

I swim 72 free laps at a heated indoor pool every other day for general exercise. Magna Gloves really add to the "burn" rate on the stroke pull. The 2mm gloves are snug, recommend you get one size larger than you normally would. Gloves warm up and cool down fast so probably not good for cold water use. For indoor pool use theyre perfect! 5 stars!
